Last Friday evening, in the hall
of the C. L. s., that pack of defeated
candidates, with distorted minds and
revengeful feelings, with a few
thoughtless followers, again attempt
ed TO bring disgrace upon their So
ciety Themselves devoid of every
manly instinct and principle. they
tried hard and long to pull the so
ciety into the mire with them. They
attribute to Others the same sinister
and malicious motives which ami
mates their little perverse minds.
If these would-be officers and lead
ers would spend half as much time
in their studies and entertain purer
thoughts, instead Of avenging imag-
ined petit animosities, they would
become tolerable good and halfway
respected students. The society
ought to be closed by the faculty II
the better class of students do not
expel at least six. We are aurpris-
ed that students who consider them
selves respectable should tolerate
these bowling animals. Boys, expel
them, if it breaks your society

would apply equally to the proceed
ings Of the Parthenons last Friday
evening; but since they are not ac-
customed to engage in quarrels in

will withhold our criticism.

The Mt. Morris Oil Field

Reports from the Mt. Morris oil
field are of the most favorable charac-
ter and the production is such as
to stimulate operators to greater ac-
tivity. The Donley well is flowing
from 100 to $50 barrels per day thus
giving promise of an immense pro-
duction. As an indication of the
faith oil men have in that field, we
can say that there will be four new
wells commenced early in January.
The opening of this field is of con
siderable interest to Morgantown.
Prominent citizens of that section
who are interested in the oil business
tell us there is little doubt that a
pipe line will be built to this place
in the near future, henc Morgan
town will become the entrepot for the
oil field.

Mr.. Harris Lecture.

The lecture delivered before the
literary societies of the University,
last week, by Mr.. Charles Burdette
Hart, was specially well received by
one Of the largest and best audiences
that Morgantown has ever furnished
for public lecture. And the lee
ture was all that we promised the
people it would be-first class in
matter and manner. Everybody was
pleased and edited Mr.. Hart re-
manned over the next day and took
in the University and the town
and was likewise taken in. 1t was
clear case of mutual self deception
which constitutes the fundamental
basis of social satisfaction and
pleasure. We hope Bro. Hart will
come again, and we will-"open a
key of nails"

The Union Supply AgencF

The managers of the Union Supply
Agency are much pleased with the
working of the enterprise SO far.
Its objects are getting to be under
stood and it is steadily gaining GUS
tom. It's intention is not to make
money, but to furnish its patrons
with goods for cash at the lowest
possible figure. About the only
terms required of any one who de-
sires to deal with them is the cash.
The cashsis required for all goods
sold and cash will pc paid for pro-
duce if the customer prefers it. A
car load of salt has just been receiv-
ed and is sold cheaper than that ar
ticle has been offered here for a long
time. Everything else at correspond
ing figures. Call and see, if you de-
sire further information.

The Victor Mills.

Fast & Sturgiss, owners of the
Victor Mills, have just given the
mach inery in all departments a
complete overhauling, adding new
machinery and putting the whole in
first class order, and are now run
ming full capacity on custom and
merchant work. They will be glad
to have their friends and customers
call and inspect, and the accommo-
dating miller, E. G. Allender, and
his assistant, Albert Baker, will take
pleasure in showing how the thing
runs. A patent nickel-plated lubri-
Gator, with glass tubes, showing the
interior. attached to the steam chest
and cylinder, is an elegant curiosity,
and the powerful, but almost noise
less engine and machinery, will pay
any to see.
They have on hand hundreds OF
bushels of corn and wheat, and are
daily buying more, pay ing the high
est prices in cash to our farmers;
indeed paying more for homegrown
corn than they can get it from
abroad. Mill feed and chop, as well
as -four ano meal, kept constantly
on hand. 1t is becoming every day
more certain that -four by the bnhi
and gradual reduction process makes
healthier and more nutritious bread
that retains it's sweetness without
drying out, better than any Other
process.

On Saturday last Geo. G. Hayes
q Co. had their grand opening of
holiday goods. Many people visited
the store on that day and made some
preliminary purchases. All were
delighted with the display and many
who bought nothing on Saturday
will return before Christmas and
get their supplies for the reason that
nicer stock or more satisfactory
prices can not be found anywhere.
There are scores Of pretty house
hold good such as lamps, vases,
table ware, cutlery and dozens of
other articles. There are ornaments
innumerable, very appropriate for
presents for all, from the babe to the
grand father; books for children.
hobby horses. sleds, sleighs, wagons,
toys, horns, games of many kinds,
block alphabets, &c, DC. Their line
of Christmas candies is equal to the
display made by city establish
ment and their stock Of fine family
groceries is large and fresh, selected
for the season that is given over to
good cheer everywhere. House wives
who want To serve their visitors With
extra danities in the way of edibles
can get their supplies here of the
choicest. There are great number
of dolls, the handsomest we have
ever seen. many of them made of
washable material. We overheard a
little girl while looking at them ex
claim: "Ain't they just too sweet. "
Another item, they are sold little
over half the price charged in previ-
Gus years This is true of very many
of the articles exhibited.
The above does not include all the
pretty, useful and valuable articles.
Their stock Of jewelry and watches
includes the best, and range in price
to suit all. Presents of this kind
are probably the most desirable that
one could select In addition to
their value and utility, they are so
durable generally that they can be
kept and used during an ordinary
lifetime. On the whole we can say
if You do not find what you want at
Geo. C. Hayes q Co.'S you are
mighty hard to pleaee. Go and see
them.

Useful as We'll as Ornamental.

While nearly every one is taken
up talking Christmas presents 1t may
be well to think a moment of some of
some of the everyiday affairs of life.
Yesterday we had occasion to make
a small purchase at l. Scott Reeds
tin shop and it occurred to US that
in getting Christmas presents, here
could be had many articles that
would be appreciated by housekeep-
ers. Scott always had the reputa-
ton of keeping the best goods in his
line and his present stock is no ex-
ception. He has everything that
legitimately belongs in the various
classes of goods handled by him.

During the year 1859, I first no

No New Court House.

within the coming year.
